Abstract

The quality of digital impressions geometry and color but also fluorescence, transillumination, reflection and absorption properties can be inferior to single frame 2D/3D images e.g. due to averaging effects, rendering effects, difficult scanning situation etc. This can lead to difficulties in the dental workflow such as the creation of a preparation margin line or detection of diseases such as caries. By providing a correlated view of high-quality single frame images and corresponding 3D models, the dental workflow can be guided to be completed more efficiently using the single frame images.
